SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:22
Ninguno de los anaceos quedó en la tierra de los hijos de Israel; solamente quedaron en Gaza, en Gat, y en Asdod.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 11:22
Verse 22. In Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod] The whole race of the Anakims was extirpated in this war, except those who had taken refuge in the above cities, which belonged to the Philistines; and in which some of the descendants of Anak were found even in the days of David.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel , etc.] For those that escaped the sword fled elsewhere, particularly to the following places: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod there remained ; that is, some of the Anakims or giants; these were three of the five principalities of the Philistines, and were never conquered and possessed by Israel, (see Joshua 13:3); of the city of Gaza, (see Gill on “Amos 1:7-8”); and (see Gill on “ Zephaniah 2:4”); and of Gath, (see Gill on “ Amos 6:2”); Ashdod is the same with Azotus, (see Gill on “ Acts 8:40”): Mela says f254 , the port of Azotus was a mart for the merchandises of Arabia, and was built on such an eminence, that from the top of it, at the fourth watch, might be seen the rising of the sun at the mountain Azotus; see ``Who discomfited the right wing, and pursued them unto the mount Azotus.” (1 Maccabees 9:15) this city held out a siege of twenty nine years against Psammitticus, king of Egypt, (see Gill on “ Isaiah 20:1”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-23 - Never let the sons of Anak be a terror to the Israel of God, for their day to fall will come. The land rested from war. It ended not in peace with the Canaanites, that was forbidden, but in a peace from them. There is a rest, a rest from war, remaining for the people of God, into which they shall enter, when their warfare is accomplished That which was now done, is compared with what had been said to Moses God's word and his works, if viewed together, will be found mutually to set each other forth. If we make conscience of our duty, we need no question the performance of the promise. But the believer must neve put off his armour, or expect lasting peace, till he closes his eyes in death; nay, as his strength and usefulness increase, he may expect mor heavy trials; yet the Lord will not permit any enemies to assault the believer till he has prepared him for the battle. Christ Jesus eve lives to plead for his people, and their faith shall not fail, howeve Satan may be permitted to assault them. And however tedious, sharp, an difficult the believer's warfare, his patience in tribulation may be encouraged by the joyfulness of hope; for he will, ere long, rest from sin and from sorrow in the Canaan above __________________________________________________________________
